lowering a lightning

I have a 2000 vermillion lightning and im wanting to put a 3/4 drop on it. Any suggestions and the best why to do so and got pics if possible. I already have it leveled with shackles and have 2 in hangers just not installed due to the difficulty in doing so

Mine is a 2/4 and cheapest way is cut front spring 1-1.5 coil and do 2" hangar/shackel in the rear. Mine is 1 coil cut without ISO and 2"hangar/shackel. About 2.5" drop in the front and 4" rear. Under $250 in total parts cost for this drop. Add another $50 for alignment so I have $300 invested in my drop.

What if anything do you have to do to the rearend to make it all work lowered 4? Do you have to run shims and get your driveshaft shortened? Ive lowered alot of vehicles in my day and several have had to cut driveshafts to prevent vibrations

Bell-Tech drop spindles and eibach springs with iso's up front(3-3.5" drop) eibach hangers and 2" shackles (about 4" drop) hangers are on the highest setting I can go lower.

Got my 2 inch shackles and hangers already and got a set of DJM 2 inch springs on the way! cant wait to get her a little closer to earth lol How much if any shims does the rear end need with the shackles/hangers?
